NEWS FLASH!

Exciting opportunity to bring significant funding support to mentoring organizations in Memphis.

• The bill described below introduced in the U.S. Senate will provide funding to state and local mentoring partnerships and 80% of the funds would be sub-granted to member groups.
• This is a unique opportunity to fund mentoring organizations without restriction regarding the target audience and to support the training and services provided by state and local partnerships.
• This could mean major funding support for MMP members!

 So let’s all pitch in and help this bill make it to the finish line.

We need to contact our Senators and ask them to be co-sponsors.

Just follow the link in the MENTOR Minute below, or go to http://capwiz.com/mentor/issues/alert/?alertid=11551611 for an easy link to our Senators and to sample messages asking for their support.

 Information about this can also be found on the website of MENTOR/The National Mentoring Partnership at www.mentoring.org.

This is important for all of us in the mentoring world – and especially for MMP and our members. Questions? Contact ashoenfeld@volunteermemphis.org

 Together we can do this!
